Anyone who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s in America probably
remember the commercials during Saturday morning cartoons showing
the subject of today’s episode. These giant beast machines were
jumping over buses, crushing cars, and coming to a coliseum near
you. Even if you’ve never been to a show, the iconic voice behind
day of the week many events took place is sure to dig up some
memories.

"SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!"

Well, actually, this episode is set to release on a Monday

"Oh, OK ... MONDAY, MONDAY, MONDAY!"

I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind
Monster Trucks.

The role of the Monster Truck announcer was played by Mat from
The One Word, Go!
Show, who is also one of The Story Behind Executive
Producers.
